Apparatus for determing and/or monitoring temperature

Abstract

An apparatus for determining and/or monitoring temperature, having: at least one housing, which has at least one inner space; and at least one cable duct for inserting at least one cable into an inner space of the housing; wherein the cable duct has at least one cable entrance and one cable exit opening into an inner space of the housing. The cable duct and the inner space of the housing are embodied and matched to one another in such a manner that the cable to be inserted in the cable duct extends essentially tangentially into the inner space of the housing, and is guided essentially radially in the inner space of the housing.

       15 . In an apparatus for determining and/or monitoring temperature, the improvement comprising:
 at least one housing, which has at least one inner space; and   at least one cable duct for insertion of at least one cable into said inner space of said housing, wherein:   said cable duct has at least one cable entrance and one cable exit opening into said inner space of said housing;   said cable duct and said inner space of said housing are embodied and matched to one another in such a manner that the cable to be inserted in said cable duct extends essentially tangentially into said inner space of said housing, and, in said inner space of said housing, is guided essentially radially.   
   
   
       16 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said inner space is embodied in such a manner, that said cable is guided in said inner space essentially kink freely.   
   
   
       17 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable duct and said housing are embodied and matched to one another in such a manner that the cable is guided into said inner space along a spiral path.   
   
   
       18 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable entrance and said cable exit essentially have an angle between 45° and 90° relative to one another.   
   
   
       19 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable duct has at least one bevel, which is embodied in such a manner, that said bevel guides the cable in the direction of said cable exit.   
   
   
       20 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein:
 said bevel is embodied in such a manner that the cable is guided in said cable duct essentially kink freely.   
   
   
       21 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein:
 said bevel and said inner space of said housing are embodied and matched to one another in such a manner that the cable is guided essentially kink freely from the cable entrance into said inner space of said housing.   
   
   
       22 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable exit is located in the direction of an edge said housing.   
   
   
       23 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable exit is removed from a center of said housing.   
   
   
       24 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable entrance and said cable exit lie essentially on a plane parallel to a floor of said housing.   
   
   
       25 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable exit opens out above a floor of said housing.   
   
   
       26 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said cable duct is an integral component of said housing.   
   
   
       27 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said housing is essentially cup-shaped.   
   
   
       28 . In the apparatus as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein:
 said inner space of said housing is essentially cylindrical.
